LOL right on! Nobody stopped us from buying Hustler at a 7/11 back in the day.

I like how government always cites "national security" or "think of the children" when it comes to outrageous laws like this. On the surface this seems like a wholesome common sense law, but trust me it's far from that. The verification technology opens a can of worms that can lead to censorship and integrations into society. Wouldn't be surprised if someone gets denied a job because they visited PornHub a few times.

Thanks for sharing!

Spent a lot of time there, and the earlier place just south of there (Facing North, Show Club?) and down 30 and south on Western, and on Wolf road and route 6 (7?

$65 bucks a visit (1/2 or whole hr, don't remember) had a tune up shop back then and I changed most of my prices to $65.

All of those places were run the same and charged the same. Probably run by the same no nonsense group. Never had a rush session. They had a strawberry blonde at the Vagabond that was a real doll with a perfect body. She would often dance like the rest but never came out to the lounge and solicited drinks.

I was treated to a surprise one evening, out side. My buddy and I were walking in from the parking lot when a very familiar customer rolled by in his one-of-a-kind van. (I used to work on it) He was a local, well known, pizza entrepreneur. A big roll up door opened up and he pulled into what appeared to be VIP parking (it was) High roller parking. Seems they ran a casino upstairs behind the rooms.

I busted him days later. He said he; s send "Strawberry" out to see me. It seems they had several girls doing high roller free bees. She turned out to be a complete disappointment and acted like she couldn't wait to leave the commoner area Nelsonand get back to money. The scrawniest girl there was the best. Hands down.

When the mob used to run joints around the area, you could rest assured of a great time for your money and the girls were very well treated. Chicago Heights and others, I owe you one. Thanks, Nelson.

Figueroa street in LA is wide open.

Check out Youtube for "Soft white underbelly". A guy named Mark uses that name as he interviews pimps and prostitutes, high end and low end. It seems they walk the streets with no police hassles. Drugs are a problem, but most of the girls look much better then the low end girls we get here. AND they are priced lower than here.

The most interesting interview, in my opinion, was "Frenchie" an actual French girl who told her whole story of how she got introduced to "pay for play" and never looked back. She did a stint at the infamous Bunny Ranch.

Don't skip a girl because she looks like crap in the black & white thumbnail he uses for everyone. They make everyone look bad.

Don't skip the nudists or the swap people. I found them hotter than the street girls even though they are older and mostly, really worn out. I'll bet it's because they are free and very enthusiastic.

ENJOY Nelson.

Legalize stuff it makes it safer and more enjoyable, being rip off by drug addicted scum, or threaten with your life by pimps or a group of thugs, better yet being busted by LEO, it's safer and cheaper going to Nevada then the cost of a LEO bust.

I was in Indy for work for a couple of days and heard about this one down there. Indy is a much better place for mongering than either side of the state line is up here. Some options are more expensive, but odds of finding what you are looking for are much better. At least for now. Somebody had to try to get stupid and push an issue and got everyone riled up. Looks like this will be the new outcome.

I've been talking to some people about opening an ABS in the area, glad I saw this before any money exchanged hands.
